Henryk Mikołaj Górecki and Emil Młynarski Jul 14, 2011

Hello Yolanda, Hello everybody else,

Henryk Górecki
Symphony No 3


Absolutely! It's sad and beautiful! Nicknamed as the Symphony of Sorrowful Songs. Górecki himself "was listening" to it at his funeral at the Cathedral of Katowice last autumn.

I recommend you also the fresh and energetic Violin Concerto No. 2 in D Major, Op. 8, by Emil Młynarski.

Beethoven's Violin Sonatas Jul 14, 2011

I just wanted to share a wonderful interpretation of Beethoven's Violin Sonatas with you, by Alina Ibragimova (violin) and Cedric Tiberghien (piano). The link is to the Amazon page, where you can listen to some of the pieces. I have Volumes 1 and 2, and it's a really valuable purchase!

1:04 - Mury Jul 14, 2011

The first minute for sure interesting for some interpreters here on this portal, but for the readers of this thread I propose to directly switch to 1:04

Song is a classical among classicals. And the music interpretation even triple classical.

Two months ago I didn't know this composer existed, but his music is the most beautiful I ever heard.

Hello!

I would like to receive suggestions about classical music I should
listen to before I die.

I will base my next purchases on your suggestions.

Regards and thanks in advance.


Yolanda


As far as I know, it is not possible to listen to music (or to do anything else) after death. So far as music is concerned, you will only be able to listen to it before you die.

I have no purchasing suggestions.

A guitar piece Aug 12, 2011

As I am a classical guitar player (amateur level) myself, I would like to throw in a very biassed suggestion here :-]

The classical guitar has lost a lot of prominence in the last two decades or so, and admittedly, often the composers were not that significant. But the CG scene is alive and well, and there is a lot of beautiful, inspiring guitar music to be discovered, from Renaissance to Contemporary -- it goes far, far beyond the Spanish style music introduced by A.

As a fine example of a piece from the "classical" classical period (18th/19th century), I would suggest Fernando Sor's Grand Solo, a somewhat Mozart-ish virtuoso piece, here played by Bill Kanengiser, one of today's prime c. guitar performers (also a member of the Los Angeles Guitar Quartet):
